Previously on 15 October, 80,000 people flooded the Ibaraki Prefecture when they held their JYJ World Tour there over the course of 2 days and continuing this display of unabating popularity, the orders for the special edition DVD of 'In Heaven', which will be released end of November, have dominated the ranking charts in all the main record stores. As testament to their explosive popularity, their Seoul Concert DVD was available last week and both were sold out out simultaneously on Amazon Japan.

An official from Tower Records said, "Any JYJ related record or DVD that goes on sale is immediately followed by explosive influx of orders. JYJ albums are always in shortage of stocks and compared to other Hallyu singers, they receive extremely high response. Also, JYJ did not do any activities in Japan at all for 2 years so this acievement is even more astonishing."

Although they are not promoting actively in Japan, the JYJ members are communicating with their Japanese fans through Twitter (SNS). In particular, a few days ago, member Kim Jaejoong occupied second place in the Japan annual Twitter rankings for celebrities, which surprised the staff. Also, previously in October, their high popularity was once again displayed as they came in second after a member of the national group Arashi, in Japan's influential 'Best Jeanist' fashion award.

The Japanese fans also pay close attention to the individual activities of the JYJ members. Yoochun's 'SungKyunKwan Scandal' dominated the DVD rental rankings for an entire month. Following that, his recently released 'Miss Ripley' as well as Kim Jaejoong's 'Protect the Boss' garnered a lot of interest before they were even broadcasted. Also, it has become a hot topic that whenever Kim Junsu participates in a musical, the 'Kim Junsu musical tour package' would appear (t/n: be offered by tour agencies).

JYJ's overseas marketing official said, "We're surprised that despite not doing activities in Japan JYJ's popularity remains unabating and this is because of the fans' faithfulness, especially with the public's loyalty towards J-POP singers. Also, music-wise, JYJ have shown steady progress and growth, and through their individual activities they are able to show a different kind of charm, which is why they are able to gain so much popularity."

On the other hand, the repackage album 'In Heaven Special Edition' of JYJ's first Korean special album is also receiving explosive response. On the first day only, the preorders have already exceeded the initial stocks available and they have already broken through 100,000 copies presently. It will be on sale this week.
